a Curious War Experience,

Thomas Cowing, now connected with the

perience worth repeating. In one of the
bloody battles of 63 he was shot through and
through and left for dead. A surgeon. pass

gave hiln a dose of poison to end his misery
Three weeks later Cowing was back In the
field of duty. He met the surgeon who gave
him the poison and asked him what it was.
"Well," replied the astounded official, Il gave
you enough of one of the deadliest poisons
that there is to kill three men" Despite that

4 Razor Crank

"Do you know~ said my barber the other
day as he finished whistling There's Razors
i'll the Air." that there is a newspaper man
in this city who keeps thirty-one razors on
hand ready for use all the while? Wei,
there is just such man here, and he hasn't
even been mentioned as a candidate for the
insane asylum, either" Twas down in Grab
enstatter's barber shop while ago, and this
man came in and inquired how much the
'honlng" of his razors would be. NATURALLY
supposed he had two razors. Imagine my
surprise when the tonsorial artist said SO,
and handed out bundle as big as a loaf of
bread. l inquired into the matter and dis
covered that each razor was numbered for a
day of the month, and no razor was used but
once within that length of time.-Buffalo

A REMARKABLE FEMALE SURGEON.
Graduating at the Age of Twenty-six.

Graduating at the Age OF Twenty-Six,
She Goes to Egypt.
The death is announced in Cochin China of
Nine. DR.. Ribart, female surgeon of re-
markabIe skill, and whose career was very ex-
traordinary, an experience that no other wo-
man has ever had. Beginning as a waitress
in a little drinking shop of the QUARTER Latin
of Paris, she passed, while still very young,
through the usual experiences of Partisan
grisette, aud became connected with meli-
cal student who frequented the shop. Her in
stinct was irresistible. No sooner did she come
in contact with his books and instruments
than she fell upon them and literally devoured
the knowledge they contained. She availed
herself of his teachings, too, and drew from
him everything he learned, so that by the
time she had reached the age of 26 she pre-
sented herself for examination as surgeon,
and passed the ordeal brilliantly and triumph
antly.
She soon recognized the field that lay open
before her in the Egyptian harems, to which
male surgeons were not admitted and where
women suffered unspeakable torments for the
lack of proper attendance. At Cairo she speed
lily established large practice, and had every
prospect of doing well, but her habits of dis
sipation had been formed early, had become
rooted and were uncOnquerable.
Her career of vice ended finally in an
Egyptian madhouSe, and her SufferingS in
that horrible place were as great as her ex-
cesses had been. After six months of this
severe but salutary regimen she recovered
her mind, but never forgave her heartless
and disreputable Levantine friends who had
hastily thrust her out of sight and mind into
the horrors of an insane asylum.
Her career i'll Egypt was over, but she
coud not return to Europe and nothing was
left her but the French possessions in Asia.
She made her way out to the French colony
in Cochin China. Here her talents and her
beauty, which despite the life she had led in
Egypt and her sufferings in the mad house,
had never failed her, won her instant recOgni-
ton and she was in great demand among
women. The old queen mother of AMMAN
had been blind for years and hailed with de
light the prospect of relief held out to her by
the French physician. Nine. Ribart died
suddenly the day before the operation was to
be performed, the result, as supposed, of the
strains upon her health which her Egyptian
experiences had entailed. She was still young
and had prospects of redeeming the past for
her talents in her difficult profession were
great and undOubted. Probably no Euro
pean woman ever knew so much of the inner
life of the harem in the east and It's dark side
as this ex-grisette York World

Bad Chinese Boys in San Francisco.


So far reference has been had only to the
older class of hoodlum Mongolians. There is
another class, no less dangerous to society, to
be found among the Chinese boys, many of
whom are members of industrious families.
The example set by the older roughs is imi-
tated as closely as it is possible for those of
tender age to follow in the footsteps of their
elder cousins" To be bad, thoroughly and
irrevocably bad, is their highest ambition.
They pick up American prof anity readily,
and use it with freedom and frequency that
would drive the most depraved American
hoodlum to despair. But it is not on their
proficiency in the use of Oaths or filthy Ian
guage that the young pagans rest their repu-
tation for wickednesS. 1t affords them a GER
tain pleasure to mingle with the Sunday school
youths of their own race and fire off a few
bOmbshells of profanity now and then, while
the Christianized Mongolians raise their eyes
in holy horror. But this is only feeting joy
To sport weapon of offense iii the shape of
a knife pistol, and to display it ON all occa-
siOns when the eye of the police is not upon
them, is pleasure smacking more of delight
full outlawry, and it is enjoyed to the full by
the bad young man in Chinatown. A knife
having fOur-inch blade and a short, thick
handle-One of those wicked looking knives
that cut both ways and must be carried in a
leather sheath-is the delight of the Mongo
Ian hOodlum. The sheath is generally fast
ened to a strap about the waist, and is con
cealed from view by the outer garments.
Such knives have been found in the possession
of Chinese hoodlums under 10 years of age.
1t is, indeed, doubtful if the majority of the
class under discussion do not carry weapon
of this kind, and sometimes two or three, with
pistol to boot. The more closely he resenl-
bleS a walking arsenal the better the young
pagan is pleased with himself, for he can then
easily convince the Chinatown residents that
he is a very, very bad young man.-San
